The Son of God was born.

Hey everybody! Merry Christmas! Thanks and praises be to our Lord Who blessed us abundantly this year. We saw so many miracles, especially cancers and diabetes getting healed. All things are possible for them that believe!

I just have a short message on my heart. We know Jesus wasn't actually born this time of year, but we celebrate His birth now, and His birth is a very significant moment for us. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father. This glory is not necessarily glowing light, though it can be, but it is the works of Christ, manifesting the will of God, so that we can see who He is. In Matt 5 Jesus said to let your light so shine, so that all men can see our good works (faith works, not high morals). When there is a demonstration of miracles, the Father is glorified, and He becomes visible. The works of the devil (sickness, poverty, sin, death) is destroyed and God's works are made visible.

Jesus came to shine the light,and destroy the darkness. He broke the chains that ensnared us, and set us free, so that we too could free others by the message of what He did for us.

1Jn3:5 says: And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; in in Him there is no sin.

verse 8b: For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The Son takes away sin, sin not, and destroys the works of the devil.

John 1 says that to as many as did receive Him, gave He the power to become the sons of God. We are here and now the sons of God. When we celebrate the birth of Christ, the manifestation of the Son of God, let us remember that we too are born from the same Seed, and have the same power to destroy the works of the devil. Jesus did it all for us on the cross, now we find our identities in Him, and operate by His Spirit and His power in His will in unison, destroying all the devil has done in people's lives.

May this Christmas remind you of Christ's birth, your rebirth in Him, and Who we as the church are and what power we have by His grace!
